Polygraph examinees answer 3 types of questions from the polygrapher during a lie detector test. They are control questions, relevant questions and irrelevant questions. And this brings us to a pressing question: is it necessary for polygraph examiners to ask irrelevant questions given that the way they’re called makes them appear unnecessary?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irrelevant questions are polygraphy questions that are designed to give the polygraph examiner an idea of the differences in the polygraph examinee’s bodily processes when being truthful and when being deceitful. They cause no stress to answer, which is why the lie detector machine won’t pick up questionable physiologic reactions from the subject.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n About to undergo a polygraph exam and want to ensure that you will recognize irrelevant questions when the polygrapher throws them your way for you to answer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this post, I will talk about everything you need to know about irrelevant questions, so read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we talk about irrelevant questions routinely asked during a lie detector exam, let’s briefly talk about control questions and relevant questions. Having an idea of what they are can help you understand irrelevant questions more and the important role they play in determining truth or deception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Control questions are designed to make the person taking the polygraph exam feel uncomfortable. So much so that, in some instances, as a matter of fact, these questions can cause a subject to lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s because control questions tend to be about deeds that have something to do with the crime or misdemeanor being investigated. However, they have a broader scope and refer to the past. And to keep incrimination at bay, it’s not uncommon for many subjects to lie when answering control questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever betrayed someone who trusted you? Have you ever lied to get out of trouble? These are some common examples of control questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nControl Questions vs. Relevant Questions: Key Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
